It’s the 4th and final Xtra episode, and indeed the final episode of the season! I know I said that four episodes ago, at the 12th episode, and that was also true. This is the final, final episode.

To reward you for sticking with it for so long, the episode begins with some bloopers and outtakes from Joe Cassara, Frederik Olsen, and Josh Mandel as King Graham, before we finish up the Music Talk with Brandon, James, and Ken, and the “does Space Quest hold up today?” chat with game designer Francisco Gonzalez.

Even though this is the final episode of this season, I would be remiss not to remind you to subscribe, so you will be ready when season 4 rolls around sometime this century.

The YouTube version is here, and it features the Francisco interview in its uncensored glory:

Thank you so much for sticking with me this season! Now I’m going to let this website fulfill its true potential as a blogging site, first and foremost. Be sure to check in at my YouTube page where I release two Let’s Play videos a week. And if you can’t get enough podcasting, we also talk adventure games over on Back Seat Designers, and more general nerdy stuff at Nerd Against The Machine!.

Time once again for some extra content! More music talk? Check. More grandstanding from Francisco “The Artist” Gonzalez? Uh, actually, he’s a very nice man, so that’s hardly fair. But we do get into Space Quest V, which is his favorite game of the series, and I try to explain him in very unclear terms why it doesn’t feel very Space Quest-y.

Also, there’s some rambling at the start about how the scripting process for the show works out, and how Frederik Olsen and I came up with the story arc(s) for CyberCedric in this season.

Or you can check out the episode on YouTube, where I have left in the words that your mom told you made God cry:

I will admit, this week’s episode was a bit of a rush job, so there’s not much else other than these two segments. But I will make good on my promise to include outtakes and behind-the-scenes stuff in the last of the four Xtra Episodes!

The season has wrapped, but we’re not quite done yet. Here’s the first of four extra episodes that conclude the Music Talk with Brandon Blume, James Mulvale, and Ken Allen. It also includes the 1st of a 4-part chat with game designer Francisco Gonzalez on the merits of the Space Quest series as seen through modern eyes.
